Here you will find some of the Plucker projects I'm working on. This list is by-no-means exhaustive, and all of the projects listed here are in varying degrees of completion and complexity (with the Wikipedia project being far and away, the largest to date!).

Why are you doing these things?
"I believe in the Plucker project. I've supported it for 8-9 years now in code, CVS hosting, website hosting and other pieces where I could help. I want to be able to provide other people access to materials to read and learn from when they are WAY offline, with no power for miles and miles."

Custom anti-aliased fonts for use with Plucker

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Below are some screenshots of Anti-aliased fonts I’ve created for use in Plucker. If you’d like to see other examples, let me know.

I’ve converted the fonts used here into Plucker format, and you can download them here (tar and 7zip versions are also available). These are in 8pt through 24pt formats, and labeled appropriately (version 0.1 is still available, but v2.0 includes all of the fonts that were in 0.1, regenerated for 2.0.).

This version also includes the latest daily Plucker snapshot, as well as the PPI interface, the CleanPlkr utility and a test document to validate that the fonts areworking properly in all sizes.

What files are included in this version?
